The 4 people who have climbed Wings of Steel sit together for a very interesting discussion of the route, the controversy, and climbing in general.

When I made the first small wide base hooks (Leeper/Logan hooks) I imagined someone doing a climb that is exactly Wings of Steel. I always thought it was terrifying to go out multiple hook moves on those things as they would stay on little edges that were at the breaking strength of the rock and you never knew when the rock was going to explode and send you plummeting. It is very committing climbing. Congratulations to all of you for pushing the limits of slab climbing. I'm sorry the community in the Valley at that time was so insular. Jamie Logan
